City receives max rainfall

The city received 20.84 cm rainfall from 8.30 am on Friday to 8.30 pm on Saturday.
The forecast by the Met department here is that heavy rainfall in the state will continue for the next 36 hours.
Met officials said heavy rain will continue with the same intensity in coastal Andhra and Telangana. The rains are caused due to a low pressure area formation in the Bay of Bengal boosting an active monsoon.
“The rain will last for the least of 36 hours if there is no change in the pressure in the Bay of Bengal. However, even with a slight variation in the pressure the active monsoon will keep up the rain pattern,” said MET director M Satyakumar.
The total rainfall recorded in the city from 8.30 am on August 8 to 8.30 pm on August 9 was 20.84 cm.
The rainfall recorded on August 8 from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm was 12.1 cm. On Saturday from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm, the rainfall recorded was 8.74 cm.
